I think the whole concept of "consciousness" might get old in nearby future. ANNs and brains will get better understood and people start questioning not what consciousness and reasoning are, but rather why they feel their "now" as they do, whether they are full of energy and in sharp mental state or they drunk to half death and can't really reason and form sentences normally yet still perceiving their "now" in the same way and feeling like they are still them. I don't know if there is a better word for this concept, but it definitely feels like the word "consciousness" shifts away from this meaning each day.

Yes. It turns out that the brain consists of white matter, grey matter, and dark matter. The dark matter is consciousness. Once we understand it, the the word consciousness will no longer be mysterious. I can’t wait!
